Right after he filed his last Charley reports down at Folly Beach, I got a chance to talke with Mike Seidel, and he's a real down to earth kinda guy. He was also extremely tired, and had been on assignment for 5 days, with very little sleep, but he was gracious enough to chat with myself and several other people down at the Folly Beach Holiday Inn ...
I captured 4 pictures on digital .. just gotta upload them ... 2 of them while he was filing those reports (and very visibly exhausted) and 2 other shots right after the report. (I'll post these pictures in just a bit)
Thanks to Mike Seidel for taking the time to talk with me.

Cool Stormsfury! You were probably down there the same time we were. We went out to take pics, but there wasn't much damage - thankfully! We didn't see Mike Seidel today, but we did run into him yesterday right after he arrived. We posted the pics we took yesterday pre-storm with hurricane prep going on in Charleston & Folly Beach (including one of him) at http://www.cswitwer.com

I went down there after taking my stepgrandmother home back to Charleston, and remembered talking with cswitwer this morning on her thread. So I decided to swing down to Folly after taking her back home. I got down there about 11:30 am this morning as they were finishing up.

He was on assignment for 5 days in a row,, including covering Tropical Storm Bonnie in the Florida Panhandle just a couple of days ago ... he did tell that after he just got done with Charley coverage here that he was off for several days before the next system ...
